When you only provide cases that would've helped the Astros, then yeah I'm going to ignore you. Plus, you were blatantly wrong about ball four of the walk. That was a ball off the plate and had been a ball all night. Jeez. Don't act like Keuchel didn't benefit as well... Hell, on the pitch before Turner's homer, Keuchel got a strike call that was outside of the super imposed strike zone on TV...

I guess you still didn't read my post.

Ump was bad. For both teams.

Edit: I guess my example of bregman and springer vs Kershaw was ambiguous in intent. I used it as an example to try and show that even when Kershaw was hitting his spots he wasn't getting consistent calls. Everything about that zone last night was inconsistent, and it went both ways. Reddick got reamed on the mirror image of the pitch that Turner got reamed on right before his homerun. Neither of those were even close to a strike.

I don't think the ump had an agenda, and I'm not arguing the Astros would have won if the zone was more accurate. Just pointing out that the calls were BAD all around.

See the edit.

And I won't. I think that was the only at bat of the evening that the umpiring was bad. We'll never know if that call changed the entire game. Fact of the matter is Houston had 5 more at-bats and did nothing with them. Altuve's KL was not the main thing the game hinged on.

This is silliness. You can't say "oh well, they did nothing after that" when we don't know if they still would have struck out had Altuve been on base.

That's why I said it was a big deal. It would have created a high leverage situation for Correa.

I'm not even a houston fan

I think that for borderline strike calls the ump should defer to some scantily clad, hot chick with a raffle wheel and she spins it to see if it was a ball or strike. I think that would really spice up the game and pull in the audience MLB wants.

Just consistency on both sides is what I want.
And a Dodgers win.

Let's go Dodgers!

"You smell good."

"I shower."

Thank you Chris Taylor's ball cap! That could have been extra bases.

Hard to imagine a pitcher as good as Verlander to end up 0 and 4 in the WS, maybe 0 and 5. Really would like to see him get one - hopefully two.

Again I repeat, anyone who thinks it makes any ****ing sense for a human to be calling balls and strikes is a moron.

LOL when your team starts losing, you blame it on the umpires! Hilarious!!!

And you know what I said is the truth, but your team is winning so it doesn't matter.

Oops you got me.

Can't score.

Stage is too big.

Everyone can cry at me, but we've all seen this before.

Hopefully they can win 1 so they're not 0-8 in the World Series.

Baseball has umpires not officials, people. Going to B7!!!
